Davia, wbo« real name was Heinrich Wilhelm Tewea, canned •rf.-Wr* V '? vv r \ ;8|V. * §*'. - *98 ?W 'profound aenaation in social and business circle*, in both of which the paeodo Davis moved, honored and respected opto the hour of hia death.*' It fnmiabed a fruitful theme for discussion at the banquet iaat night, of the Carriig^-makers’ Association. ,Out at the Hiram W. Duvis factory, where several hundred men are idle [lending adjudication o the wage question, copies of the MokNINO Tblx-grah were eagerly read by the former employes of the man, who waa now fo* lirat time ahown in bis true eolora.1 but one statement did the Moan-TfXKORAM err, and that waa through the defective memory of old Louie Massuianu. It waa not a daughter of Colonel Booton, the lawyer of Covington, whom the pseudo Davis married, but a sister of Mr. Benton's wife, a Miss Clemens. Mr. KUsmnann also stated, and which waa omitted in the publication yesterday, that a orotber of “HiramW, Davia, who did not diaguiae hiereal name of Tewea, lived in the Eaafc Knd, in Pendleton he thought. Thie Tfwea, however, bad not been on intimate terms with hie wealthy relative ofthe West End, who spelled hia namoDavis. ■ /'V' - ' ■...Mra. Davia, the widow, who lives mHartwell, denounced the Morning Tej.-egkam's publication as false and inspired by malice.
